This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Networking Your Home (Complete Idiot's Guides (Computers)) (Paperback)
Excellent service as usual and book in first class condition,however I think I must be a complete idiot as I found it quite complicated. Also it was not what I wanted, there is another series of "Idiots Guides which I thought I ws getting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and friendly, 29 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Networking Your Home (Complete Idiot's Guides (Computers)) (Paperback)
I thought networking was for geeks and brother-in-laws (same people). No longer.

I had my old pentium and my new P2 connected in no time. The chapters I really used had less to do with my computers but rather more about the things that I could do with them after they were connected.

I now have a fully functional stereo system that can play MP3's that are stored on my computer. I also tried some home automation stuff and boy is it ever easy! The Rex 2000 works great!
